[MKULTRA]

Submitted order.

Submitted my order for 2.

[bazemk1979]

I can do Filco 87 + 104

but CM keyboard I don't have any to test case

they sell CM TKL cases here but only the top.... do you need the both the top and bottom cases? because if you can do only with the top part, maeby we can have a GB and we supply the top cases from here if they are not available in Vietnam.

If available in Vietnam, you add the cost for the cases in the group buy, and lets do both CM Rapid and CM XT 104. Sounds good? Make it a GB for everybody, people with Filcos, CM, Rosewill's..... It wont be easy but you can make some dinero!!!

[iArson]

In for a Filco 104

[ApocalypseMaow]

Once those get going, I'll be down for one as well.

2 for me

[alixinhzai]

ordered 2

also it would be nice if you could post some pictures of the case with out the poker in it, and a poker with a custom or no plate.

I will take some picture use another plate ... without place can't use in this case no screw mount on PCB

ok so.

how do i change my order (or cancel and reorder) since my stupid friend changed his mind...

also wouldn't it be possible to have cutouts for the cherry platemounted stabs/ channels for the wires (just an idea)

I can change ur order like submit one new and PM to del old order

thx

I know can buy a top case from CM... but if I think it can't mount on acrylic case.

I can do filco because I have one 87 and one 104, about CM keyboard or another I can't promise anything.

[alixinhzai]

ops... I forgot a plate color in form order ahhhhhhhhhh

I'll PM everybody order and ask about plate color and switch hole type late

[mm87]

ali, will all your plates allow both centered and off-centered CapsLock?

[do_Og@n]

Order placed....now I just need the PCB.

[Surnia]

Do you still have the keychains available? Looking to pickup a set of all switch types...

[alixinhzai]

ali, will all your plates allow both centered and off-centered CapsLock?

If u choise poker & pure, It's only centered caplock and u choise another GH60 it'll both

[Sai]

oh. is it possible to have blockers for this case? just like in KMAC Happy where the case can have 3 different layouts, wkl, 1.5wk and hhkb style.

[Chase5delta]

Is this case similar at all to the stock case? I like how the stock case is basically just a tray for it to sit in and the keys look like they are floating. Can we get some pictures of a keyboard with keycaps on in the case? Thankyou!

[jcrouse]

@ alixinhzai

So, I have a couple of GH60 PCBs and plates ordered. You say you can use a metal plate with the case. Can you show pics or explain because I am not understanding that if your case has a switch plate and I also have a metal plate, how does this work?

Thanks,
John

I would also like to see this, so I can know what I need to order.

I'll take picture for 2 bro soon

[mm87]

If u choise poker & pure, It's only centered caplock and u choise another GH60 it'll both

When you say Poker = only centered Caps, you only mean regular Poker I hope? Because one of the 2 cases I ordered is for "GH60 Poker" layout, which of course supports off-centered Caps, so the plate for "GH60 Poker" needs to support it as well.

[alixinhzai]

yeah, If u choise only "poker" or "pure", plate support only centered capslock

If u choise "GH60 poker", I know u need centered & off-center capslock

thx u

[mm87]

Great, thanks. Just wanted to be 100% sure :]

[deSheol]

Would you be able to make a case for a KBT race 75%?

[alixinhzai]

Would you be able to make a case for a KBT race 75%?

I can but not time now

try MX Mini layout and ISO

(Attachment Link)

I want an MX Mini.   But don't know where to get it. Does that work with a KBT pure?

[alixinhzai]

KBT pure is like poker :3

I'll  take order for ISO layout T_T so many people buy GH60 ISO need case

[jcrouse]

yeah, If u choise only "poker" or "pure", plate support only centered capslock

If u choise "GH60 poker", I know u need centered & off-center capslock

thx u

More confusion ..... if there is a difference between "poker" and "GH60 Poker" and you are using a text box, as opposed to radio buttons or a drop down dialog box to clarify the options precisely, on your entry form you are going to have MANY folks possibly not getting what they really needed or wanted. You need to clarify. I am not sure I ordered properly now. I ordered four cases, 1 poker, 2 ansi 1.5's and an hhkb. Do I need to distinguish between poker and gh60 poker and exactly what is the difference?

Thanks,
John

[jdcarpe]

I think the language barrier is the issue.

If you order a Poker layout, that's exactly what you'll get, with the only option for Caps Lock being center-stemmed.

If you order a GH60-Poker layout, it's the same, except that the hole in the plate for the Caps Lock position is stretched, so that you can use either caps lock position (supported by the PCB).

[ApocalypseMaow]

Could I get one of the pokers a GH60? That would make my plate order Poker, Pure, and GH60.
Thanks Ali

Hit the nail on the head!

I'm sorry to clutter up this thread with another question!  Not surprisingly, it's GH-60 related.

On the new order form, there are two acrylic plate options:  openable and non-openable.
Given that I don't want to mod these switches (building it as a gift), should I choose the non-openable plate?

Also, does using the acrylic plate mean I should get plate-mounted instead of PCB-mounted switches?

[cancelx]

Will there be a 2nd round of this later? I haven't decided which GH60 I will be getting, also I'm kinda short on money, and GH60 will take some time to be ready

yes, If u don't want mod sw I can choise fixed sw
U can use both PCB mount or plate mount sw

Will there be a 2nd round of this later? I haven't decided which GH60 I will be getting, also I'm kinda short on money, and GH60 will take some time to be ready

I think round 2 will be after dealine GH60 payment

[WhiteFireDragon]

What's the point of having 2 switch hole option? Just make them all openable. If someone doesn't want to open up a switch, then they don't have to, but at least they'll have the option to do that later in the future if it ever comes to that.

alixinhzai, I'll add this case to the OP of GH60 as well.

[jcrouse]

Personally, I did not get the openable switch plates. I have had issues with the top of the switch coming off when removing tight caps. I like how the fixed plates fits tighter against the side of the switch and doesn't allow the four "latches" to expand as easily and allow the top to come off.

Then I guess you won't like any PCB mounted keyboard. I've never encountered that problem you explain, you have to make brute force to remove the top of the switch.

[alixinhzai]

thx White but someone PM me, they need fixed sw

difference fixed and openable sw

[cgbuen]

Is it easy for buyers to swap acrylic layers between multiple cases to make new color combinations?

[MKULTRA]

Are you gonna post pictures of case with keycaps?  And detailed pictures of how the acrylic plate works?

[alixinhzai]

one prototype all clear case and use another metal plate on case

[mashby]

So does a metal plate take the place of the acrylic plate? Or, does the metal plate sit on top of the acrylic plate?

[MKULTRA]

It looks to me like the plate is under the acrylic.

[jcrouse]

The plate is on top of the acrylic in the pic. The high end A.87 acrylic cases made by GON, a korean builder, have a 5mm acrylic switch plate. This esentiallyt takes up all of the space on the bottom of the switch, meaning the pcb sits right against the bottom side of the acrylic switch plate, just like the ergodox. These cases here have a 3mm switch plate meaning there is 2mm available for the metaal plate to sit on top of the acryluc plate. This should make for a very rigid setup although if this is in fact the case the keys will sit 2mm higher when using the metal plate. If the metal plate were on the underside of the acrylic the height difference would not exist.

At least that is the way I see things.

John

[mashby]

So is this going to take a special plate then? Seems to me that if I'm using The_Beast's plate, then there isn't any extra room for the acrylic. Unless I'm completely off-base, or missing something.

[esoomenona]

I don't see how they can sit any higher with a plate on top versus under. Don't they have to be flush against the PCB both ways to be soldered on?

[jcrouse]

Without the metal plate the switch sits on top of the acrylic which is, lets say 3mm down from the top of the case. This would have a 2mm gap between the bottom of the acrylic plate and the top of the pcb since the bottom half of the switch is 5mm. If you add a 2mm metal plate on top of the acrylic plate the switch moves up 2mm relative to the top of the case meaning it is now 1mm from the top of the csse down to where the switch sits and also, the pcb moves up 2mm and sits against the bottom of the acrylic plate.

I may be wrong. This is all just my interpertation but the bottom of the switch is 5mm. The acryluc plate is 3mm and beasts plate is ~2mm. You can add beasts plate on top of the acrylic it just moves the switch and pcb up 2mm.

Lets see what the maker says when he responds.

exactly My plate with one 3mm and one 2mm If u want use metal plate, take out 2mm on top and replace metal plate in

So, my understanding was correct except for the fact that your 3mm acrylic switch plate also has a 2mm "spacer"plate on top of it which can be replaced by a metal plate and the height of the switches actually will not change. Also meaning that even without the metal plate the pcb will sit against the bottom of the 3mm acrylic switch plate.

[phetto]

I would like to buy a case. Don't know about the color, perhaps  you can help me choose Alix?
